Question: My knees have been arthritic for many years, although they are not so bad yet that I am ready for joint replacement. I try to keep my weight down to ease the burden on my knees. What are some other things I can do?
Dr. Hibberd's answer:
You can ask your doctor for painkiller medications that will help to reduce the pain and inflammation in your knee joints. You can also start a gentle exercise regime that your physiotherapist can advise you. Also ask for "support" braces, which provide support for the entire knee.
